FACEBOOK ADVERTISING

Its not widely known that facebook offer advertising on their network, however the system is actually more granular than most on-line advertising networks, in that you can target EXACTLY who you want to see the adverts by choosing careful placement.

Examples (left)

These are two examples of our ad design and text. They are the correct size and both are linked to the company websites. The bottom ad has a call to action by phone. The top ad links through to their website where the products and services are described in detail. Customers can then use the website as a point of contact.

Use the @ symbol in posts (activate this in Use Facebook As "Jim" )- This makes the posts personal and allows tagging of names.
